From the acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Make Your Bed — a short, inspirational book about the qualities of true, everyday heroes.
THE HERO CODE is Admiral McRaven’s ringing tribute to the real, everyday heroes he’s met over the years, from battlefields to hospitals to college campuses, who are doing their part to save the world.
When Bill McRaven was a young boy growing up in Texas, he dreamed of being a superhero. He longed to put on a cape and use his superpowers to save the earth from destruction. But as he grew older and traveled the world, he found real heroes everywhere he went — and none of them had superpowers. None of them wore capes or cowls. But they all possessed qualities that gave them the power to help others, to make a difference, to save the world: courage, both physical and moral; humility; a willingness to sacrifice; and a deep sense of integrity.
THE HERO CODE is not a cypher, a puzzle, or a secret message. It is a code of conduct; lessons in virtues that can become the foundations of our character as we build a life worthy of honor and respect.
The perfect gift to give a graduate is this book. It is a wealth of inspiration and a compendium of values on being a better and braver human. Therese Thompson                                         rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Another book by a favorite author!! William reminds us all to be heroes, and to take one step forward, at a time. Yes, life can be complicated at times, but we should never, ever give up. Each and every single one of us have our lines in the sand, those fears that keep us from being courageous. Let’s express and reach to be rich in gratitude, in satisfaction and in appreciation. We can all be a hero. We all have something that makes us unique, we just need to find what our talent is, use it to inspire others, to give hope, and to make tomorrow a better day.
